Children First: From Words To Responsibility
A One Day Conference For Professionals Working In The Family Separation Space
Thursday 11th June 2026
The Great Hall, Dartington, Devon
A one-day conference set in the stunning Grade 1 listed Dartington Hall in Devon. A day of practical learning, dialogue and new ideas designed to bring your work fully up to speed with the latest thinking on children's needs, rights and lived experiences.
With input from The President of the Family Division, The Rt Hon Lord Justice Stephen Cobb, Dame Rachel de Souza, Children's Commissioner for England, round table discussions led by the voice of the child, insights from latest research, a powerful theatrical performance commissioned especially for this event from HH Stephen Wildblood KC and the launch of a new project that will transform the way we support parents and their children.
This is not just a day of learning and reflection, its much more than that. It is about being part of a growing movement of professionals not just acknowledging that children need to be front and centre of family separation but actually doing something about it. This where things happen.
